March 10, 2016. Tips for the Day.
  • Timeline "AVCHD" video/audio file with audio issue. Troubleshooting step if problems with AVCHD mts Dolby Digital 5.1 channel file - - determine if audio is 5.1 channel or stereo. And, if 5.1 channel audio in the file, then look to use of project preset described for use for file with 5.1 channel audio. If necessary for the troubleshooting to create own Premiere Elements 5.1 project preset, see HERE and HERE and HERE.
  • Hardware Acceleration. If looking the Hardware Acceleration preference for burn to troubleshooting, remember the preference does not exist in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 and 14/14.1 Mac or Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 32 bit.

March 27, 2016. Reminder. The Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Issue.
The Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce issue still exists which forces the user to roll back the current NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013. See HERE and HERE
In many instances the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers are no longer available online. If the problem is that it worked before but not now, the possibility exists that the user might have been working from the older (working) driver which automatically got updated. In that case, the hope is that the older driver is still on the computer and can be reverted back to for use after it is searched for and found on the computer.

April 13, 2016. Reminder. Camera Raw 6.7

We have seen no Adobe announcements about the fate of a Premiere Elements 15 (for that matter, also Photoshop Elements 15). If the dating history for new version Premiere Elements is to repeat the typical ritual of new version every every year/every September, we would have expected a Premiere Elements 15 by now.

October 5, 2016. Release of Photoshop Elements 15 and Premiere Elements 15.
Details of the new releases will be in October 2016 blog posts in the ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting series of blog posts (See Premiere Elements 15 First Looks and Premiere Elements 15 Daily Discoveries). Work in progress.

December 6, 2016. Adobe DNG Converter 9.7
Blog post published today, but dated November 30, 2016. See HERE for its entry as November 30, 2016.

December 7, 2016. About Web Site Links Used In The Blog Posts.
The web site links (for support or demonstrations) were posted in the blog posts without computer security or other problems. Nonetheless, caution is advised in opening any new web site link here or elsewhere. The web site link removed has been cited several times here to point to movies which offer ideas for our home movies openings and closings. Lately, at that web site, I have been running to not seen before pop ups as well as problems opening that web site. Although these pop ups are unwanted, they do not appear at this time to be compromising the computer security. I have not been able to get rid of these pop ups with pop up blocker software. Caution.
Add On...December 14, 2016....according to name of web site removed Facebook page, repairs to web site are in progress and web site is expected to be operating again soon. In the meanwhile, the web site web site link removed may provide substitutions for the links cited in the specific blog post involving web site name removed references. See notes on this matter placed in the blog posts involved.
Add On...December 19, 2016....the name of web site removed and the links posted here appear to be operating again. Thanks name of web site removed for repairing/restoring your web site.
Add On...February 20, 2017...I am in the Eastern United States and am not sure what is happening with the name of web site removed address. Currently I have been forced to use web site links removed. As before for Internet web sites, my pop up blocker (Adblock Plus) has minimized pop up viewing intrusion.
Add On...February 21, 2017...Regarding the name of web site removed site access...based on the current web site's pop up message, apparently the change to the new web site name removed  address is related to some sort of copyright issues.
Add On...April 02, 2017...All direct links to Asian free movies web sites with interesting video effects have been removed because of related attacks on computer security, excessive pop ups that defy pop up blockers, and content of the pop ups. Extra caution.

December 25, 2016. Thank You.

In October 2016 Camera Raw 9.6 shipped with Photoshop Elements 15/Premiere Elements 15 and shortly thereafter could be updated to 9.7.

August 29, 2017. Premiere Elements 15 Windows 10 Home 64 bit Language Options During Product Installation From Disc.
In a workup for a recent blog post, it was found that Premiere Elements 15 installation from combination disc (Photoshop Elements 15/Premiere Elements 15) purchased in USA from USA online vendor) included the language choices for Traditional Chinese and Korean besides Simplified Chinese. In contrast, Simplified Chinese but not Traditional Chinese and Korean was found when this install was done from the current download of the product from Adobe. The product install (disc or download) was done from a purchased serial number). See Note in the June 1, 2017 blog post titled "PE 15: Program Installed From Adobe Disc Or Adobe Download" found HERE. No further researching for international versus USA Adobe marketing of the product was gone into at this time. It is our understanding that Adobe sells only the download and that users need to go to outside vendors for the product on disc.

February 7, 2018. Source Of Confusion Related To How Adobe Named Its Latest Premiere Elements Version.
Naming of the latest version of Premiere Elements was pointed to at the beginning of the Premiere Elements 2018 First Look blog post found HERE and read
According to online reports, on October 4, 2017 Adobe announced the release of Premiere Elements 2018 as the latest version of Premiere Elements, the successor to Premiere Elements 15. What's New appears to be headed by a change in the version numbering. Starting with this latest release, the version name for subsequent versions will take on the upcoming year of the release rather than following the prior numbering system of 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
Although the latest version of Premiere Elements is marketed as Premiere Elements 2018, the installed "Premiere Elements 2018" has places where the program is identified as "16". This "16"  would be in keeping with the prior numbering system of 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Recently I saw one instance where Premiere Elements 2018 was referred to as Premiere Elements 18. At this time, it is not known how frequently "18" is being used instead of "2018" especially in online posts, and I wonder about the potential for confusion between 18, 2018, and 16 in sorting out version moving forward.

March 27, 2018. Anyone Interested In The Preroll And Postroll Options in Premiere Elements?
For those looking for detailed information on the Premiere Elements preroll and postroll options, please refer to the blog post titled "PE: Preroll and Postroll Options Interpreted" which is dated September 2014 and found HERE. In that blog post study, the interpretation of what these options can do in a project was the same for Premiere Elements 4 through 12/12.1 on Windows 64 bit. An update on this topic is planned for Premiere Elements 13/13.1, 14/14.1, 15, and 2018 in the near future. Also refer to the Adobe recent (July 28, 2017) document on Premiere Elements creating titles found HERE.

October 31, 2018. Anyone Dealing With Audio Editing Concept Of "Volume Bypass"?
For those interested in "Volume Bypass", start HERE which I wrote back in May 12, 2014 as a blog post in the ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting series. That work includes example of Volume Bypass and related keyframing. On the forum level, the following is a copy of one of my replies that I contributed in 2015 to a Premiere Elements user seeking information on Volume Bypass.
When your audio comes into the project, it is assigned a 0 dB value. That value represents the volume of the file as recorded by the recording device.
You can lower or increase the volume at the Timeline level by moving the audio file's orange Volume Clip Volume rubberband up or down. All the way to the top, that is +6 dB, and all the way to the bottom is infinity, no sound. However you change the Volume, as long as the reading is no longer 0 dB, the Volume Bypass option is going to work for you.

The Volume Bypass orange line rubberband is a different line than that for the Volume Clip Volume. Volume Clip Volume deals with setting the Volume whereas Volume Bypass allows you to decide what segments of the Volume change that you want be to heard without going back to Volume Clip Volume to make Volume adjustments.

When you set the audio clip for Volume Bypass, it is normal for the Volume Bypass orange line to be all the way to the bottom (Off) because that represents the Volume Bypass letting you hear the Volume change that you made. It is allowing you to hear however you adjusted the Volume away from 0 dB. With Volume Bypass, you decide what segments of that Volume change across the clip you want heard and do not want to be heard without having to go back to the Volume Clip Volume's orange rubberband. In the Volume Clip Volume phase, if you have set audio fade in and fade out, then you make sure that Volume Bypass is Off at those times.
Volume Bypass is applicable to Premiere Elements 2019 and earlier (as least to version 7).
